Let's divide 966831 by 54
Let's see how many times 54 fits into 966831.

On to step 1:
54 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 54

Step 2:
54 can be fit into 96 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 54 from 96 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 54

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 426 by 54, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 378 away from 426, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 54

Moving on to step 4:
The number 54 fits into 488 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we subtract 486 from 488, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 54

Advancing to step 5:
23 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1790.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 54

Moving on to step 6:
The number 54 fits into 231 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17904.0
Deduct 216 from 231 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
150 divided by 54 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17904.2
If we subtract 108 from 150, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
54 goes into 420 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17904.27
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 378 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 420 by 54, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17904.277
Deduct 378 from 420 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17904.277 with a remaining 0.0042.
